Beijing, June 15 /Xinhua/ – China is committed to the path of peaceful development, and the development of the country’s military potential is aimed at protecting state sovereignty, national security, and development interests, an official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the PRC Lin Xiaoqiang said on Monday.

This, as added by the Chinese diplomat, is not directed against any other country.

Such statements were made by Lin Xian at yet another press conference, commenting on a report on the development of the Chinese armed forces at the request of the media.

He noted that in the relevant report mentioned by the media representatives asking the question, China is presented in the so-called narrative of striving for hegemony. This is a serious misconception, he emphasized.

China’s military potential buildup is the strengthening of the force advocating for peace throughout the world, he added.

A Chinese diplomat called on the relevant organizations to stop inflating the so-called “Chinese threat” and to objectively, impartially, and rationally assess the development of China. -0-
